![The Dowth cairn is 85 metres in diameter and 15 metres high,[3] and surrounded by 115 large kerbstones, some of which are decorated. Quartz was found fallen outside the kerbing, suggesting that the entrance to this tomb was surrounded by glittering white stone, as at Newgrange. Three stone-lined passages lead into the mound from the west. These comprise two passage tombs (known as Dowth North and Dowth South) and a souterrain.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x2apsukog3vg45xrn4jnurkp/bafkreigk7htsitfytfpeglb5ywl47zohwnf2zsop45iix5by6fjh5zkzti@jpeg)
